Donald Trump has reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the GOP presidential nomination, securing his status as the presumptive Republican nominee and avoiding a contested convention, according to a delegate count released Thursday by the Associated Press.

The AP reports that Trump was has reached 1,238 delegates, put over the 1,237 needed to win the nomination by a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who said they would support him at the convention. Trump will most likely add more delegates to his total before...

Medved would understand chutzpah! That's bogus!!!

Medved is a dead ender, a true #NeverTrump.

You've got all these slates of Cruz supporters who won election, knowing they may have to vote Trump. Now some are saying their conscience won't allow them to vote for Trump.

Medved is stirring the pot on it.

I think you posted that to try to rob Trump of the nomination... :)

[kiryandil]

And I thought my vote would actually mean something this year.

WWTD? Club them like a baby seal!

So, your votes are going to help club the GOPee like baby seals! It'll be YUGE!!!

[Grampa Dave]

I’m sure that he will do great in the primary.

Wouldn’t it be great if/when Trump carries California this November.

[siamesecats]

Pardon my stupidity, but what does WWTD mean?

[kiryandil]

What Would Trump Do (WWTD)?

Club 'em like a baby seal, then club 'em some moar.

Which you will be doing with your vote. :)

You are in very friendly territory. A lot of the CruzLims (Rabid Cruz supporters who looked at him as a holy entity) rode the ZOT. There are a few Cruz supporters left, but even they are seeing the light. #NeverTrump’ers are not welcome. Commies (DemonRats) don’t often stumble in here. We show them the door quickly.

Welcome. I would say 98% + here are pro Trump.

I made a flag out of mine. It hangs below Old Glory.

Still a few more states to go. Hopefully he’ll have over 1400 so the powers that be can bugger off and can’t deny him the nomination.

I am very pleased that Trump got the NOMINATION but there is still one major hurdle to leap, getting elected is the next. I strongly believe that the demodummies, with their ever present illegal activities are yet to be reckoned with.

[xzins]

Definitely. It will be a war.

Oh ZOT = banned. I like it. Never heard it termed that.

"You ain't from around here, are ya, boy?"

[Lazamataz]

Because things have been a little crazy lately when talking to fellow conservatives...you never know if you say you are pro-Trump if someone’s going to go off on you. So am I in the right place?

6. Laz would hit it.

It's actually a very complex process.

[Deo volente]

I was just told by another poster that these delegates can vote for anybody they choose on the first ballot.

WHAT?! Is that true?! I’ve seen several posts already on FR to that effect. What’s the deal?

[xzins]

Unbound delegates can vote for the candidate they choose if they are fully unbound. Some have bound themselves to whichever candidate wins their district, but my understanding is that unbound delegates are free.

[Deo volente]

Not according to this post, and many others. He’s saying they can change the rules at the convention and the pledged delegates can vote for anybody they want.
